Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Kufi Arabic Source: Browser Default

U+08E9 "" Arabic Curly Kasratan is a diacritical mark used in Arabic script, specifically an alternative form of the standard kasratan (the double kasra indicating nunation with an i sound). It is part of the Arabic Extended-A block and was added to Unicode to support certain Quranic and pedagogical texts where a curly or rounded shape is preferred for clarity or orthographic tradition. This character is placed below an Arabic letter to denote the inflectional ending -in, and its curly appearance distinguishes it from the straight or angled versions found in other writing styles, aiding in precise textual rendering.
